Let customers speak for us
I always get amazing service every time I go to Wandering Adventures. Thank you to the whole team!
This store was the only place I could find armory deck Ira in stock without being horribly price gouged. Great, quick, painless shipping experience from Canada to the US.
I love random pack collectables. I actually got my favourite currency, the Waterdeep half moon!
The bag is exactly as advertised. It's sturdy, it's compact but fits everything I need, WA was great to deal with for the transaction.
Fast shipping for international. Great price. I would buy from this store again.
New battletome, fun to read. Great addition to the game

Commander Nights at Wandering Adventures
Hi everyone! Just wanted to talk about a new adventure starting here at Wandering Adventures- Magic: The Gathering Commander Nights.
Commander is a great format—but let’s be honest, it can get a little wild. Between 30 years of card history, tuned decks, and infinite combos, it’s tough for new or returning players to find a space where the game feels fun and fair. That’s something we want to help with. At Wandering Adventures, we’re putting together a new kind of Commander night—something structured, low-pressure, and most importantly, casual. The idea is simple: you start with a preconstructed deck from the store, and then each week you upgrade it little by little with a single booster pack. That’s it. No overwhelming deck building, no arms race of upgrades, just a shared journey where everyone grows together.
When you join, you’ll pick up one of the Commander decks we have available—examples might include the 2022 Starter Decks, Duskmourn, Bloomburrow, or the new Tarkir: Dragonstorm. You’ll play your first week with it straight out of the box. Each time you come back, you’ll grab one booster pack (the set will rotate weekly—we’ll mostly be using Foundations, with the occasional Modern Horizons pack thrown in for spice), and you can only use cards from that pack to upgrade your deck. You can also trade with other players if that’s your thing. Basic lands are fair game—you can add or swap those freely. The goal here is to keep things grounded. This isn’t about finding the best combo or most efficient win condition. It’s about making a deck you love and slowly shaping it over time.
To help keep things honest and low-maintenance, we’ll give you a free 400-count card box when you join, and your deck stays at the shop. You can show up, play, and not worry about having to remember what you swapped in or out midweek. If you miss a week or join later in the season, no worries—you can buy the previous packs to catch up. You can also come and go as your schedule allows. This is meant to be easy to jump into, not another thing to stress over.
And if you’re not sure you want to join just yet? You can still drop in with a casual or precon-level deck and get in a game if there’s space at a table. No need to commit right away. Try it out, see if you like it. If you do, grab a deck and hop on board.
This format is about building a healthy Commander community. One where the pressure to optimize disappears, and everyone’s on the same page. It’s a way to play regularly, try new cards, and support the store without breaking the bank or getting power-creeped out of the fun. We’ll be announcing the start date and weekly schedule soon. In the meantime, if this sounds like something you’d be into—or if you have suggestions—let us know. We’re excited to get this going and can’t wait to see what kind of decks grow out of it.

Summer Clearance Sale at Wandering Adventures
Summer Clearance Sale at Wandering Adventures – Big Discounts on Malifaux, Board Games, JoyToy & More
Summer is the perfect time to refresh your hobby collection, and we’re making space for exciting new releases here at Wandering Adventures. That means deep discounts across select lines, including Malifaux, Board Games, JoyToy, and a wide selection of clearance hobby products. Whether you’re looking to expand your crew, clear your wishlist, or just score a great deal, now’s the time.

With Malifaux 4th Edition on the horizon, we’re clearing out remaining stock from 3rd Edition at 30% off. This is a great opportunity to pick up models, crews, and accessories that will remain useful in the new edition—or to start a new faction on a budget.

Whether you're already deep into the world of soulstones and scheming masters or curious about diving in before the new edition hits, this sale is worth a look. Stock is limited, and once it's gone, it's gone.
Board Games – 30% Off
We don’t focus much on board games here, and frankly, they take up a lot of shelf space. So we’re making room by offering 30% off all board games in stock. From strategy titles to quick party games, it’s a great time to grab something new for game night.
Explore our current selection here:
👉 Board Games – 30% Off

This discount won’t last forever, and some of these models are no longer being produced. Grab them while you can.
More Clearance – Paints, Hobby Supplies & More
We’re also rotating through our clearance inventory to make space for newer items. That includes select paints, hobby tools, and accessories—all at reduced prices. Whether you’re stocking up for a big project or just want to pad out your kit, this is the section to watch.
You’ll find discounted Vallejo, Citadel, and other hobby essentials at prices that are hard to beat. It’s a good way to pick up a few extras or try something new without paying full price.
Don’t Miss Out
All discounts are while supplies last, and we don’t expect much of it to stick around long. Malifaux fans will especially want to act fast—some of those SKUs are already getting harder to find as we move into 4th Edition. Likewise, we’re not planning to restock most of the board games or clearance items. Once they’re gone, that’s it.
If you’re local to Woodbridge, Vaughan, or anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area, you can swing by our store to check things out in person. Or if you prefer shopping online, we offer shipping across Canada.
Take advantage of the summer slowdown and treat yourself—or prep for a fall season full of tabletop action. Shop the sale now, and make some room on your shelves too.

How to Prepare for the Warlord’s Gauntlet League
How to Prepare for the Warlord’s Gauntlet League
With the Warlord’s Gauntlet League fast approaching at Wandering Adventures, now is the time to get organized. Whether you’re a veteran of the tabletop or newer to competitive play, preparation is key to getting the most out of each event day. This guide walks you through the essentials to help you arrive ready and focused.
1. Build and Prepare Your Army List
One of the most important steps is preparing a legal, streamlined, and adaptable 2000-point Strike Force army list. Since pairings for Round 1 are random, your army should be ready to face anything—from durable gunlines to hyper-mobile melee threats.
Tips for success:
-
Use the latest points and rules from Games Workshop (especially from the latest Balance Dataslate).
-
Don’t overly skew your list for a single matchup type; you’ll likely face a range of armies.
-
Bring redundancy in key roles—don’t hinge your game plan on a single unit doing all the work.
Double check your list format and validation using Best Coast Pairings (BCP). Lists must be submitted by 11:59 PM the Thursday before each event, or you risk a penalty.
2. Get Rested and Arrive On Time
It’s easy to underestimate how mentally demanding two games of Warhammer 40K can be in a single day. Make sure to:
-
Get a solid night’s sleep before the event.
-
Eat beforehand or bring snacks.
-
Show up early to register, unpack, and settle in. Rushing into Game 1 can set the tone for an unsteady day.
3. Make a Game-Day Checklist
Every Warhammer event veteran has made the mistake of forgetting something. Avoid stress with a simple checklist:
Essentials:
-
Printed or digital copy of your list
-
Your fully assembled army
-
Dice, measuring tools, objective markers
-
Rulebook, Codex, FAQs
-
Any stratagem or reference cards you use frequently
-
Glue and super glue (for emergency repairs)
-
Pen and paper or score tracking app
-
Your phone charger (especially if using digital rules)
Optional but useful:
-
Dice tray
-
Chess clock (if you want to use one)
-
Snacks and water bottle
-
Transport case for your army
4. Paint What You Can
While fully painted armies are not required during qualifiers, painted models do earn you bonus points and contribute to a better table presence. It’s worth putting in the effort to paint what you can before each event. Focus on units that will be on the table every game: warlords, linchpin units, or vehicles.
The Final Showdown does require fully painted armies, so starting early gives you time to build toward that standard.
5. Review the Missions and Terrain Layouts
The league uses preset terrain and assigned missions each event day. Reviewing those ahead of time will help with deployment planning, secondary selection, and first-turn strategies. If you know what to expect, you’ll start Game 1 with confidence instead of scrambling to react.
Final Thoughts
The Warlord’s Gauntlet League is meant to challenge your strategic skill—but also to build a fun, competitive community. Preparing ahead of time helps you focus on the game instead of the logistics. Take the time to get your list locked in, pack your materials, and hit the tables ready to lead your forces to victory.
